The Gazette outlines conservation steps to save paper amid wartime quotas. Changes include dropping the 11 a.m. edition, narrower column rules, shorter headlines, reduced comic strips, tighter editing, and less white space in classifieds. These measures saved about 12 percent in 1943 without harming coverage.

Poles Study Territorial Bid of Reds
The Polish exile government met to consider Russia’s offer to return about 7 000 of 77 700 square miles occupied by the Red army in 1939 and to form a mutual alliance against Germany. Russia suggested altering borders along a Curzon line with Poland gaining areas densely Polish, and keeping key cities while Ukraine and White Russia remained with the Soviet Union. Officials warned of a final wartime gesture from Stalin and noted Poland’s borders would need to extend to the Baltic and include integral Polish lands taken from Germany.
